Looking at your extremely varied creation.
The mind that tries to understand it reels.
A painter without hands has drawn a picture
without colours onto a screen “emptiness.”
It cannot be erased through washing
nor does the screen crumble away.
Suffering arises from looking at this body.
In that mirage dwells an extremely ferocious crocodile.
It has no real mouth, but it swallows all
who come to slake their thirst in the imaginary water.
Some call this world real, others unreal,
others assume that it is both real and unreal.
Tulsidas says: one who has found the true Self
leaves behind all these three errors.

– TULSIDAS: Keshas: Kahi, I, 4

"Searching for meaning [in life] is like looking for a rhyming scheme in a cookbook; you won't find it and it'll bugger up your souffle."

Who lived here
He must have been a gardener that cared a lot
Who weeded out the tears and grew a good crop
And we are so amazed we're crippled and we're dazed
A gardener like that one no one can replace

And I've been knocking but no one answers
And I've been knocking most all the day
Oh and I've been calling oh hey hey Johnny
Can't you come out to play?

~ Elton John, "Empty Garden (Hey, Hey Johnny)"

Hell, if I could explain it to the average person, it wouldn't have been worth the Nobel prize.

[Angrboda]

A well-done spirit-medium performance is rare — especially in the opinion of conjurers (and others) well versed in the sleight-of-mind branch of magic known as "mentalism." In talking to the deceased and relaying their messages back to their appreciative loved ones, as Van Praagh has ostensibly been doing for the past 14 years, his primary technique seems indistinguishable from that of a magician/mentalist or, for that matter, the typical "psychic." In fact, he peppers his clients with such a non-stop barrage of questions that enough feedback is obtained to satiate an Ethiopian family of fourteen.

For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.

Carl Sagan

I learned that one after a falling out with someone. It helped me through. It continues to be relevant.
